A great wine for laying down, which can easily be kept for 5 to 8 years after the vintage, or even longer in the right conditions.

Pommard is one of the most famous villages in the Côte de Beaune, situated 5 km south of the town of Beaune on the route de Grands Crus. The appellation covers 322 hectares and produces only red wines, with 36% of its wines classified as 1er Cru. It is the best-known red wine appellation in the Côte de Beaune, and the favourite vin de garde of the French.

On the lower slopes, ancient alluvial deposits, then in the middle of the hillsides, the clay-limestone soils are well drained thanks to a pebbly deposit of rock debris. Further up, we find Oxfordian marl (Jurassic), brown calcareous and brown calcareous soils. Iron oxide sometimes reddens the soil.

Facing east and south. Altitude: between 250 and 330 metres.

This wine comes from organic vineyards.

The grapes are collected in small ventilated crates, then painstakingly sorted at a table. Next, the grapes are entirely destemmed but not crushed (they remain whole) and transferred by gravity into a wooden vat. Maceration lasts around 3 weeks, with more-or-less frequent cap punching. The wine is aged for 14 to 16 months in oak barrels (20% new oak). Lastly, the wine is bottled with very light filtration.

2022 brought uncertain conditions, but was finally mild throughout the season!

The harvest took place from around 25 August to 16 September.

The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure, giving balanced and honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot.

2022 is a pleasant vintage in terms of quality with good yields, for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
